  1. focotaku, No, most people in Japan don't "mind their own business". It's just that you are not in the inner circle, so don't know what they think or say about you.

  2. @Not an internet troll Good for you, troll! Many people, self included, had very bright views of Japan for the first 2 or 3 years. Then, the real side of Japan showed itself. . Go for it!

  6.  @tamamiyamaguchi41  Tamami agrees that "Tatemae" is a lie, then proceeds to try and explain why it is not a lie. OK.

  7.  @pyodesu  Bocchi, "退職" literally means "leave work", not retirement. There is a completely different word for "retirement".

  8.  @freyalove3831  frey, yes, that is true that many English schools in Japan don't want any Japanese use in class, and one way to make sure that happens is to hire people that don't know any Japanese.

  10. Shiba, I politely disagree with your comment. I had many more friends in Japan when my Japanese was terrible, than when it became good. Especially among many Japanese men, there is a hierarchy thing going on where if they feel like their English level is lower than your Japanese level, they will just cut off contact.

  11.  @shibapatrol801  Shiba tells us he has no clue what foreigners experience in Japan. Then he tries to change the subject. Sad.

  12.  @shibapatrol801  OK, Shiba, when you just copy someone and are self-happy about doing that, you obviously are correct.... if you are still in the 2nd grade of elementary school.

  13. "I haven’t lived in Japan, but I’ve spoken to many Japanese people". If you are saying your knowledge of Japanese people is from Japanese who have gone to foreign countries, then you are getting a very biased view of Japan.

  14. Japan is "rich"? You're about 25 years behind the times, Matt.

  15. Here for the money? Japan's salaries are among the worst in OECD countries now. But maybe you have your own business or something.

  17. @Not an internet troll troll, I never said that was a "bad thing". Please try to learn how the English language works.

  18.  @gdgd5194  GD, perhaps you missed what I wrote. Here it is again: "Good for you, troll!". Please note that was a reply to someone whose last name on his moniker is "troll". . Are you upset that I called you "GD" too?

  19. Villiers, There are quite a few jobs in Japan where you are not allowed to speak Japanese.
